SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 297,918, dated April29, 1884.

' Application filed May 12, 1883. (N0 model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, JOHN J. GURD, a citizenof the United States,residing at Rockfield, in the county of Warren and State of Kentucky,have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Ohurns; and I dodeclare the following to be afull, clear, and exact description of theinvention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which itappertains to make and use the same, reference being had to theaccompanying drawings, and to letters or figures of reference markedthereon, which form a part of this specification.

Figure 1 of the drawings is a vertical sectional View, and Fig. 2 is afront view, illustrating this invention.

This invention has relation to hand-power machines for operatingchurn-dashers which move reciprocally in vertical lines; and it consists in the construction and novel arrangement of devices, ashereinafter set forth, and particularly pointed out in the claimappended.

In the accompanying drawings, the letter A designates a strong frame,having bearings B for the journals of the large pulley-wheel G, which isof sufficient size to act as a fly.

D represents a bracket-arm, which is secured to the end of the frame. Itis formed with the parallel arms E, in which are made the bearings forthe shaft of the small pulley F, which is connected to the large pulleyby the operating-cord g. The shaft h of the small pulley is extended oneach side to receive the crank wheels K, which are provided withwrisfipins L, to which are connected, respectively, thedownwardly-extending arms N, the lower ends of which are provided withthe bent wire pivot-arms m. The upper portions of the arms E of thebracket are extended outward horizontally, as indicated at P, and areconnected by a transverse bar, S, which is designed to be in a projectedposition, so that the churn can be centered below it. In the bar S arethe perforations or bearings t for the dash-rodsR, the upper ends ofwhich reciprocate in said bearings. Below the dashmods are provided withtransverse perforations o,which are engaged by the pivot ends of thearms N. Thedash-rods pass through parallel bearings z in the churn-coverI. v

This construction is designed to provide a hearings in the transversebar S and in the cover I keep the dash-rods true, and the inwardly-bentpivot-wires m work freely in connection with said rods. are capable ofyielding somewhat, they will operate with ease in the bearings of thedashrods when the machine is run with rapidity.

I am aware that it is not new to connect pitmen to crank-arms and bendtheir lower ends so that they can be attached to dasherrods, and alsothat churns have heretofore been provided with brackets for supportingtheir operating mechanism, and therefore do not claim such, broadly;but,

Having described this invention, what I claim, and desire to secure byLetters Patent, 1s

The churn-motor herein described; consisting of the frame A, havingbearings B for the journals of the large pulley O, the bracket D,composed of arms E E, which are secured, as shown, to the frame A, andsupport the shaft h, carrying the small pulley F, the said arms beingextended outward horizontally, as indicated at P, and connected by thetransverse bar S, which is providedwith perforations t, for guiding thedasher rods R, the crankwheels K, secured to the lateral extensions ofthe said shaft h, the arms N, connected near their upperendseccentrically to the crankwheels, and at their lower ends to thedasherrods by means of the bent wire pivot-arms m,

substantially as specified.

In testimony whereof Iaflix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
